The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 57 Zhu Rong snatched the wine

Seeing Shi Mo frowning and remaining silent, clearly unwilling to use his River Map and Luo Shu to comprehend, Fuxi forced a smile and took out a jade slip:
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, I've noticed you're quite interested in alchemy, so I've specially brought you some of my sister Nuwa's alchemy tips. They include an introduction to the medicinal properties of various magical herbs and elixirs, as well as analysis of their combined potency ratios."

Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Shi Mo's eyes lit up. It would take too much time for him to study these things on his own.

However, Nuwa, who is good at creating life, undoubtedly has a clearer understanding of various spiritual plants and medicinal herbs. This is also the theoretical basis for her considerable attainments in alchemy.

"Okay, since fellow Daoist Fuxi is so sincere, I will lend you the River Map and Luo Shu for you to comprehend for ten thousand years," Shi Mo said as he flipped his hand and took out the River Map and Luo Shu.

To form the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, the Hetu and Luoshu must be used as the foundation of the formation to rival the power of the Zhoutian Xingchen Formation.

Therefore, even if Fuxi could comprehend the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, he would not be able to set up the real Hunyuan Heluo Formation without the Hetu Luoshu.

Lend him the River Map and Luo Shu to comprehend them. If he can use them to kill the corpse, he will owe Shi Mo a big favor. Why not do it?
If it weren't for the practice of corpse-slaying, it would be really difficult to make Fuxi and Nuwa, brother and sister, owe each other a favor.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi Mo! I will continue to meditate and practice with you from now on. Sorry for disturbing you!" Fuxi, who was surprised to receive the River Map and Luo Shu, also handed the jade slip in his hand to Shi Mo.

Shi Mo took the jade slip and said with a smile: "It's alright, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you can take the River Map and Luo Shu back to study it."

"Take it back?" Fuxi was stunned. Shi Mo trusted him so much?
Even he himself could not help but be greedy for the River Map and Luo Shu. After all, this was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that was very suitable for him.

Shi Mo was not really afraid of his greed, as he still trusted Fuxi's character.

Moreover, this River Map and Luo Shu will inevitably fall into his hands in the future to help him achieve the Dao of the Emperor.

If Fuxi really borrowed and didn't return it, then the karma he owed Shi Mo would be very serious, and he would probably have to ask Nuwa to help him pay it back.

As for if he used the River Map and Luo Shu to help the demon clan and turned against Shi Mo, then given Shi Mo's great merits, he would probably have to repay this karma with his life in the future, and Nuwa would not let him make such an unwise choice.

"The River Map and Luo Shu are in his hands. When Emperor Jun finds out, he will definitely try to snatch them back. He might even become enemies with Fuxi and Nuwa because of this. That would be interesting," Shi Mo felt a little excited when he thought of this.

Unfortunately, Fuxi, who had reacted, had no intention of taking the River Map and Luo Shu away, but insisted on staying at the Jiuding Tiecha Mountain to comprehend.

However, Fuxi was still very touched by Shi Mo's trust, and his favor for Shi Mo increased greatly.

Although he wanted to comprehend the River Map and Luo Shu at Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, Fuxi naturally could not occupy Shi Mo's cave directly. Instead, he went to the peach forest on Babao Peak to practice.

Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the peaches in the peach forest were ripe.

At a stone table under an old peach tree in the forest, Fuxi, who was taking a rare break, sat opposite Shi Mo, eating a newly ripe peach. He watched the monkeys of Jin Yuan jumping around picking peaches and couldn't help laughing.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, the most popular fruit syrup in your Eight Treasures Cloud Light Pavilion is this Peach Fairy Wine, right? And it's also the most expensive!"

"There's nothing we can do, the demand exceeds the supply! We can only raise the price," Shi Mo shrugged and smiled, "The previous stock has been sold out, and now that the new peaches are ripe, it will take some time before the newly brewed Peach Fairy Wine can be supplied!" "But now the most expensive one is not the ordinary Peach Fairy Wine, but the new premium Peach Fairy Wine," Shi Mo continued with a hint of mystery.

"Top-grade peach wine?" Fuxi's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that this wine is brewed from the peaches?"

"Haha. I did make some Immortal Peach Wine, but I usually can't bear to drink it, so why would I sell it?"

Shi Mo chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's just some Pan Tao Xian Wine mixed into the ordinary Peach Xian Wine."

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, you are really good at doing business," Fuxi didn't know what to say, then his eyes lit up and he said:

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, could you please give me a taste of that Immortal Peach Wine?"

"Ah, this." Seeing Fuxi's curious and greedy look, Shi Mo suddenly hesitated. If he gave the best wine to a wine lover, he would never have peace in the future.

At this moment, Shi Mo suddenly sensed something and stood up, frowning as he looked off into the distance. "This Zhu Rong is truly hot-tempered! He actually wants to snatch the premium Peach Immortal Wine?"

"Hey, brother Shi Mo, you don't want to give me the Immortal Peach Wine, right? What are you talking about Zhu Rong? He is the ancestor of witches, he wouldn't be so shameless as to rob me, right?" Seeing Shi Mo was about to leave, Fuxi couldn't help but ask.

"Really? If you don't believe me, come with me. If we go too late, I'm afraid he will rob my Babao Yunguang Pavilion," Shi Mo said as he used the escape technique to leave.

"Huh? It's actually true?" Feeling the faint violent energy fluctuations coming from afar, Fuxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he left Jiuding Tiecha Mountain and rushed over.

In the southern part of the prehistoric world, a huge dark red mountain with sparse vegetation shook violently. As the entire mountaintop exploded, the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Pavilion originally located on the mountaintop suddenly turned into a dazzling light and disappeared into the mountain.

"Damn it!" Zhurong, who had a bull's head and a human body, was covered in crimson scales and was bathed in flames. He was like stepping on two fire dragons. Flames spewed out of his mouth as he roared. A terrifying hot breath spread out, making the surrounding space distorted and blurred.

Then, the furious Zhu Rong's fists bombarded the mountain like cannonballs. In a blink of an eye, the entire mountain collapsed.
Buzz. A dazzling ochre light shone from the ground, which was covered by a mass of rocks. Shi Mo appeared and took a step into the air. "Zhu Rong, what's wrong with you?"

"Shi Mo?" Zhu Rong's eyes fixed on Shi Mo, and he shouted, "Give me the best peach wine, and I'll leave. Otherwise..."

"What else? Do you really want to rob me?" Shi Mo frowned and looked at Zhu Rong and asked:
"My Babao Yunguang Pavilion has always been a fair and equitable business. As long as you are willing to pay spiritual materials of sufficient value, all the goods in Babao Yunguang Pavilion can be exchanged. But you want to rob..."

"You want too much. A bottle of top-grade Peach Fairy Wine actually requires a low-grade innate spiritual treasure or an innate spiritual material of equivalent value. How can it be worth so much?" Before Shi Mo could finish his words, Zhu Rong shouted in dissatisfaction.

Shi Mo said noncommittally, "If you don't think it's worth it, you don't have to buy it! Zhu Rong, I didn't force you to buy that top-grade peach wine, did I?"
